Seyi Law calls out Tunde Ednut in open letter

Comedian Oluseyi Aletile, popularly known as Seyi Law, has addressed an open letter to Instagram blogger and former singer Tunde Ednut, accusing him of tarnishing his name and misleading his followers.

In a lengthy message posted to his Instagram and Twitter pages on Tuesday, Seyi Law alleged that Tunde has spent the past two years inciting negativity against him, a situation he initially laughed off but has recently begun to reflect on more deeply.

“For two years, I have watched as you tarnished my name and incited your followers against me. I laughed it off at first, but lately, I have been reflecting,” he wrote.

The comedian said he has remained silent despite being aware of damaging information about Tunde Ednut.

He criticised the blogger for allegedly manipulating those he described as capable of independent thought but unwilling to use their reasoning.

“I kept silent despite the many things I knew about you. I watched you deceive those capable of independent thought but won’t use their brains while you secured your livelihood from Nigeria.

“Your connections with people that are associated with Deziani and others. But I believe in God, who, in time, reveals the true deeds of all men,” he said.

Seyi also shared a Yoruba folk song from his childhood, which he said taught him integrity and honesty.

“Dear mazitundeednut,
Growing up as Yoruba children, we were taught a song that goes:

“‘Kini n o fole se laye ti mo wa (2ce). Laye ti mo wa, kaka kin jale, kaka kin jale, ma kuku deru. Kini n o fole se laye ti mo wa.’”

It translates to, “What would I do with stealing in this life I have come into? Instead of stealing, I would rather become a slave.”

He continued, “This song instilled integrity in many of us, and I am proud to say that throughout my existence, I have never stolen from anyone. Can you say the same?”

The 41-year-old recalled knowing Tunde Ednut from their early days, recounting how Tunde once lived with musician Sheyman near his house and how he had helped him in the past.

“I remember when you lived with Sheyman just behind my house. Given your humble beginnings, I expected you to appreciate the hard work of others. Instead, you choose to throw mud on others, forgetting that when the rain falls, no one can predict whose roof it will touch.

“Tunde mo se lore ri, no matter how little. How quickly people change. Or perhaps this was simply who you have always been.”

Seyi concluded the letter with a stern warning: “Like I always say, time will reveal all things. No try me o, make your eyes no peel.”
